Espoo, Finland – Nokia announced today that Nokia’s Board of Directors has approved the Nokia Equity Program 2014. The Nokia Equity Program 2014 includes the following equity instruments:

– An Employee Share Purchase Plan for Nokia employees in selected jurisdictions, entitling the eligible employees to contribute a part of their salary to purchase Nokia shares. After a designated holding period, Nokia will offer the employees one matching share for each two purchased shares;

– Performance Shares, with the final number of shares dependent on the achievement of pre-determined financial performance criteria; and

– Restricted Shares are awarded on an exceptional basis only for recruitment and retention purposes and are dependent on continued employment during a three-year restriction period.

For 2014 the intention has been to simplify the equity programs on offer, removing stock options completely from the program and limiting the restricted share plan for use in extraordinary retention and recruitment cases only. Also the number of restricted shares to be granted has been reduced significantly. The Board of Directors, in setting up the Equity Program 2014, has taken into consideration the expected changes in the company structure due to the planned sale of substantially all of Nokia’s Devices & Services business to Microsoft.

The purpose of the Nokia Equity Program 2014

The Nokia Equity Program 2014 is designed to support the participants’ focus and alignment with Nokia’s long term success. Also employees of NSN are included in the Performance Share Plan and in the Restricted Share Plan.

Nokia’s use of the performance-based plan as the main long-term incentive vehicle is planned to effectively contribute to the long-term value creation and sustainability of Nokia and to align the interests of the employees with those of the shareholders. It is also designed to ensure that the overall equity-based compensation is driven by performance.

Shares under the Restricted Share Plan will be granted on a more limited basis than in previous years. Restricted Shares are granted only for exceptional retention and recruitment purposes aimed to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent vital to the future success of the Company.

Stock option grants will not feature as part of the Equity Program 2014. Greater emphasis will be placed on the Performance Share Plan in 2014, further promoting Nokia’s stance on pay for performance

The Employee Share Purchase Plan

Under the Employee Share Purchase Plan, eligible Nokia employees (excluding NSN employees for the 2014 plan cycle) can elect to make monthly contributions from their salary to purchase Nokia shares. The participation in the plan is voluntary.

The annual limit which the participant can contribute to the plan will be between a minimum of EUR 60 and a maximum of the lower of (1) EUR 1 200 and (2) 10% of a participant’s annual gross base salary. Generally, the share purchases will be made at market value on pre-determined dates on a monthly basis during a 12-month period. Nokia will offer one matching share for every two purchased shares the participant still holds after the last monthly purchase has been made in June 2015. The estimated total maximum amount of employee contributions during the plan cycle commencing in 2014 would equal approximately 840 000 Nokia shares using closing share price EUR 5.28 on February 13, 2014. Based on the matching ratio of one matching share for every two purchased shares, the number of matching shares would be approximately 420 000.

The Employee Share Purchase Plan is planned to be offered to Nokia employees in up to 27 countries for the plan cycle commencing in 2014. The first savings period is intended to start in June 2014 and the first monthly purchases are planned to be made in July 2014.

Performance Shares

Under the 2014 Performance Share Plan, target pay-out will depend on whether independent performance criteria have been met by the end of the performance period. The performance criteria are different for different employee groups as follows:

The plan has a two-year performance period (2014-2015) and a subsequent one-year restriction period. The number of performance shares to be settled after the restriction period will start at 25% of the grant amount and any pay-out beyond this will be determined with reference to the financial performance during the two-year performance period. The grant under Performance Share Plan 2014 could result in an aggregate maximum payout of 29.7 million Nokia shares in the event that maximum performance against all the performance criteria is achieved.

Restricted Shares

The Restricted Share Plan 2014 has a three-year restriction period. The grant of Restricted Shares in 2014 could result in an aggregate maximum payout of 2 million Nokia shares

Employees included in the Equity Program 2014

The primary equity instrument for executive-level employees and directors below executive level are performance shares. Below the executive and director level, performance shares are used on a selective basis to ensure retention and recruitment of functional mastery and other employees deemed critical to Nokia’s future success.

Nokia has decided to restrict the use of the Restricted Shares so that shares under the Restricted Share Plan are granted only for exceptional retention and recruitment purposes to ensure Nokia is able to retain and recruit talent vital to the future success of the Group and will only be used in limited and exceptional circumstances. This is a change to the earlier practice when restricted shares were included as part of the annual compensation reviews.

Employees in up to 27 countries are planned to be offered the possibility to participate in the Employee Share Purchase Plan for the plan cycle commencing in 2014, provided that there are no local regulatory or administrative restraints for the offer.

Amendment of the 2013 Performance Share Plan

Following Nokia’s purchase of the remaining stake in NSN from Siemens which was completed in August 2013, and the intended sale of substantially all of Nokia’s D&S business to Microsoft announced on September 3, 2013, the metrics for the 2013 Performance Share Plan are amended to take account of Nokia’s new business going forward. The amendment introduces a metric set on the basis of the Average Net Sales Index over the two year performance period in replacement of the metric set on the basis of the Average Annual Net Sales Revenue. In addition, the Average Annual EPS targets are amended.

Dilution effect

As of December 31, 2013, the total maximum dilution effect of Nokia’s equity program and option rights currently outstanding, assuming that the performance shares would be delivered at maximum level, is approximately 2.3%. The potential maximum effect of the Nokia Equity Program 2014 would be approximately another 0.9%, meaning a total dilution impact of 3.1%, again assuming the delivery at maximum level for performance shares, and the delivery of matching shares against the estimated maximum amount of contributions to the participants under the Employee Share Purchase Plan. The calculation for the Employee Share Purchase Plan is based on closing share price EUR 5.28 on February 13, 2014.
